Geauga Center for the Arts has an immediate need to replace the following roles in our Summer Shakespeare production of As You Like It.
-
Orlando (114 Lines) (Male, 20s-30s) - Noble and pure of heart. His constant concern and care for Adam, the old family servant, immediately makes the audience esteem him. When he learns that his brother Oliver is planning to kill him, he leaves home and
goes to the Forest of Arden with old Adam. In the forest, he attaches love poems addressed to Rosalind on all the trees. Finally, he and Rosalind are united and wed.
-
Charles (8 lines) (Male, 20s-40s) - A professional wrestler whom Oliver tells to kill or at least, maim Orlando. Ironically, Orlando wins the match.
-
Silvius (24 lines) (Male, 20s-30s) - This shepherd represents the romantic lover in the pastoral genre of Elizabethan literature. He loves the shepherdess Phoebe, but she constantly rejects him; despite this fact, however, he pines for her throughout
the play.

(Notes: Charles/Silvius can be doubled)
